What are Dramatic Productions?

Dramatic Productions (DP) are scenes or plays put on by the students in SP 307 and SP 308 each semester. Students are responsible for the entire production—set, lights, sound, makeup, casting, directing, and hosting. These productions are “for students, by students” and are very popular with the student body. See below for event details and performance notes.

Experimental Theater

Set in the 1870s, this 3-act play takes place in a little mining town in the Sierras. Eighteen-year-old M’Liss and her father George “Bummer” Smith barely eek out a living as he works a mine he is convinced has gold. Unbeknownst to Bummer, his wealthy brother back East has died and left him everything. A couple of con artists arrive in town intent on pilfering the inheritance from Bummer, whatever it takes.
